If it's not allowed, then apologies. I have had a healthy number of clients for years but I have access to some more manpower these days and was considering joining the referral program. I know there's a little information at http://www.realsoftware.com/support/prioritysupport.php but I don't know how up-to-date that is and don't really want to throw a few hundred bucks at it if there aren't many leads at the moment. Obviously we can't talk in specifics but I'm wondering if people feel this is a worthwhile program to be a part of? Are leads increasing for you? Decreasing? I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance before I join up, there's not much info out there to go on. Thanks for any comments! _________________ Xcode and Real Studio developer.

I think it's the easiest way to find consulting clients as they've already decided to use Real Studio. I believe it's worth the cost since one good sized project will offset the cost of the program. Many of the clients we've picked up have retained us and continue to come back with new projects and updates to existing projects. That's the real value of the program because once they've found you (and are happy with your work) they'll keep coming back - at no cost. In a decade of doing this we've gone from one developer (me) to three full-time developers and a full-time QA/project manager. For many years the Referral Program was our bread and butter way of finding clients. _________________ Bob K.
